Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn plans to interview with the Carolina Panthers, Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders about their head-coaching vacancies, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.

The interviews would likely take place at the end of next week.

Quinn's Cowboys, the No. 2 seed in the NFC, host the Green Bay Packers in a wild-card game on Sunday.

Dallas finished the regular season ranked fifth in the NFL in scoring defense (18.5 points per game) and total defense (299.7 yards per game). The Cowboys also tied for fifth with 26 takeaways.

Quinn, 53, had interviews with the Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts last January before announcing he'd be staying in Dallas to address "unfinished business."

Quinn went 43-42 in five-plus seasons as Atlanta coach and guided the Falcons to the Super Bowl following the 2016 season. Atlanta blew a 25-point lead in the Super Bowl and lost 34-28 in overtime to the New England Patriots.
